Do you own silver coins that have grime or tarnish in their crannies? I sure do. Take a look at this pile of junk coins I bought from an Ebay seller.  As you can see, most of these coins are pretty tarnished. Here are the steps I take to clean up grimy coins. Here we have 3 Walking Liberty half dollars. Notice the grime in the cracks.  First step is to heat up the coin to a dull red, and then quench it in water.  Here is the coin after pulling it out of the water. Lots of fire-scale; ready for pickling.  Next step is to drop the coin in a hot batch of Pickle.
The pickle will remove the fire-scale and leave a pristine white coin.  Next step is to use a brass wire bristle Dremel attachment to strip away the whiteness and reveal the prized shine.
